PERHAPS the only people in America who have not seen the pictures of the World Trade Center tragedy are the three remaining contestants on he reality TV show, “Big Brother 2.”

Theoretically, contestants in the game are cut off from outside contact with the rest of the world.

But network officials decided late Tuesday to tell the three contestants – Monica, Will and Nicole – what had happened because a close relative of Monica’s is missing in the blast.

Monica Bailey’s cousin, Tamitha Freeman, an employee of Aon Corp., was working on the 90th floor of the south tower. She has not been heard from since shortly after the north tower was struck Tuesday morning.

It is unclear how much Monica or the others know beyond the bare details of the terrorist attack in New York and Washington, D.C.

“Big Brother” producers have passed along a message from Monica – a candy-store manager from Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn – telling them to look after family matters and not to come to L.A., where the show is based.
